Origin of raw materials
Origins of the Ingredients: Authenticity in Every Detail
Each combination in the Travel Kit of 6 Portuguese Honeys is born from a careful selection of local ingredients sourced from distinct regions of the country, where beekeeping and agriculture follow artisanal and sustainable practices. The origin of the ingredients is a key part of the experience, revealing the identity, terroir, and richness of Portugal in every spoonful of honey.
Heather Honey from Serra da Lousã
Collected from the slopes and valleys of the Serra da Lousã, this is a mountain honey made predominantly from heather blossoms, common in Portugal’s central highlands. It’s a honey full of personality—dense in texture, strong in flavor, and slightly tangy.
It has a very dark amber color and a bold aroma and taste. The addition of ginger enhances its slightly spicy profile and accentuates the astringency typical of heather nectar, creating a rich and intense blend.
Eucalyptus Honey
Harvested from eucalyptus blossoms, this honey has a light brown color, balsamic aroma, and smooth flavor—ideal for subtle pairings. It is highly valued for both its aromatic profile and natural health benefits.
Known for its therapeutic properties, eucalyptus honey is an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and stimulating product, often associated with respiratory relief and immune support.
Dried Pear
Sourced from 'São Bartolomeu' pear trees, a regional Portuguese variety, this dried pear is the result of a traditional sun-drying process that transforms fresh fruit into a sweet, aromatic delicacy. After drying, the pears are pressed by hand.
The result is a reddish-brown dried pear with an elastic texture, intense flavor, and unique organoleptic properties—a deeply rooted ingredient in Portugal’s fruit preservation traditions.
Orange Blossom Honey
Selected in the Algarve, this honey is known for its light color and delicate floral aroma. Smooth and slightly acidic, it has a lighter profile than rosemary honey, making it ideal for refined aromatic combinations.
It’s an elegant expression of Algarve’s flora, offering natural sweetness and fragrance from the region’s citrus orchards.
Rosemary Honey
This honey is harvested from the slopes of Serra da Malcata, a natural reserve between Penamacor and Sabugal, spanning over 21,000 hectares of biodiversity. The bees extract nectar from fields of rosemary, heather, and wildflowers.
Light in color and aromatic, this honey is known for its smoothness and balance—a pure expression of traditional Portuguese beekeeping in a pristine, uncontaminated environment.
Dried Apple
Made from Portuguese apples, sliced thin and dried under controlled conditions with no added sugars, colorings, or preservatives. The result is a 100% natural product with only 2% moisture.
This process preserves the fruit’s nutritional properties and intensifies its sweet, fruity flavor—perfect for pairing with more delicate honeys.
Multifloral Honey
Harvested in the Beiras Region, this wildflower honey is the result of expert transhumant beekeeping, following the bloom cycles of various native species such as heather, rosemary, eucalyptus, gorse, mallow, thyme, rockrose, and borage.
The floral diversity gives this honey a balanced and complex profile, with subtle nuances and natural variations that reflect the surrounding ecosystem. A true portrait of Portuguese biodiversity.
Heather Honey from Serra da Estrela
Produced from queiró, torga, and white heather, this honey is collected by Apis mellifera iberiensis bees in the highlands and valleys of Serra da Estrela. It has a very dark hue, dense texture, and bold flavor.
It features a slight astringency typical of heather nectar and a distinct mountain character. Ideal for bold and full-bodied pairings, such as the one with elderberry.
Elderberry
With its deep red pigment and strong natural color, elderberry has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient times. In Portugal, it grows wild, especially in the northern Varosa region.
Beyond its antioxidant properties, it offers a lightly acidic and fruity taste that adds color and depth to mountain honey blends—a traditional ingredient with strong Portuguese identity.
Authenticity Rooted in the Land
Each ingredient in this kit reflects a distinct origin and a story deeply connected to the culture and knowledge of Portugal. More than just a selection of flavors, this is a tribute to the regions and local practices that make Portuguese honey a unique, authentic product full of soul. An experience that honors origin and respects Nature.
